Stamens

...from one of my peonies that has been in a vase for a few days.  This one is not what I call "blousy" but a  open one and rather lovely too.  What peony isn't lovely.
Doug is doing well, so I joined him in the vegetable garden today to ease the load, not wanting him to overdo it.
But before that we cleaned the silver - oh my it does look nice now.
